• Abstract: The practice of social distancing is imperative to curbing the spread of contagious diseases and has been globally adopted as a non-pharmaceutical prevention measure during the COVID-19 pandemic. This work proposes a novel framework named SD-Measure for detecting social distancing from video footages. The proposed framework leverages the Mask R-CNN deep neural network to detect people in a video frame. To consistently identify whether social distancing is practiced during the interaction between people, a centroid tracking algorithm is utilised to track the subjects over the course of the footage. With the aid of authentic algorithms for approximating the distance of people from the camera and between themselves, we determine whether the social distancing guidelines are being adhered to. The framework attained a high accuracy value in conjunction with a low false alarm rate when tested on Custom Video Footage Dataset (CVFD) and Custom Personal Images Dataset (CPID), where it manifested its effectiveness in determining whether social distancing guidelines were practiced.

  Engagement measurement finds application in healthcare, education, services. Use of physiological and behavioral features is viable, but impracticality of traditional physiological measurement arises due to the need for contact sensors. We demonstrate the feasibility of the unsupervised photoplethysmography (rmography) as an alternative for contact sensors.

  coordinated accounts on social media are used by misinformation campaigns to influence public opinion and manipulate social outcomes. We propose a coordination detection framework incorporating neural temporal point process with prior knowledge such as temporal logic or pre-defined filtering functions. Experimental results on a real-world dataset show the effectiveness of our proposed method compared to the SOTA model in both unsupervised and semi-supervised settings.

  Social distancing, an essential public health measure, has gained significant attention since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this work, the problem of visual social distancing compliance assessment in busy public areas with wide field-of-view cameras is considered. A dataset of crowd scenes with people annotations under a bird's eye view (BEV) and ground truth for metric distances is introduced. A multi-branch network, BEV-Net, is proposed to localize individuals in world coordinates and identify high-risk regions where social distancing is violated.

We propose to use probabilistic risk estimation in order to optimize testing and quarantining strategies for the control of an epidemic. Our approaches translate into fully distributed algorithms that only require communication between individuals who have recently been in contact.
